I was probably about five years old. My dad would take us, he really likes bowling. By the time I was about 19, my friends and I would go out bowling a bunch. So yeah, I’ve been bowling pretty much off an on my whole life, though not very consistently. I like bowling because it’s such an interesting sport to me. It’s fun, it involves physical activity while not being physically demanding, so people from all walks of life can enjoy themselves while doing it. I just like everything involved, the oil-slicked lanes, the the oddly-shaped pins. It’s all pretty strange and awesome too.
When I was 13 years old, my best friend and I were hanging out with a group of friends from his new high school. We were all hanging out and playing on teams. I was the last bowler, and we needed like 20 more points to win and I wasn’t very good, but in the last frame I got the turkey (three successive strikes) that won and everybody went wild. I feel like when you are young, that kind of stuff gets you more excited.
